my take on the game

Ozil was crap, Sanchez looks a spent force, Giroud clearly isn't a world class striker, Cazorla had a shit game, Bellerin was exposed at RB.
Coq will not be our long term answer as a DM. Just having a decent run and performances towards the end of the season. Because Arteta and Flamini are shit. Also Wenger either takes him off after 65 mins or like today shoved him at RB for the last 20 mins. Couldn't imagine Vieira or Gilberto, being told to sit in at RB.

But hey Man U were average and i feel another missed opportunity to get a victory up their.

Lads we weren't better in the second half.......we were better in the last 15 minutes is all - to suggest that we had an improved 2nd half totally ignores the 30 minutes of dogshite we witnessed before the changes :roll: :oops:

Better second half , especially when Jack came on and Ramsey moved into a natural position. Thought we actually did deserve the draw and even could have won , but against this United not so much of an achievement.

Wenger scarred by heavy defeats up there. Too scared to play an attacking game against an extremely poor team. Not making subs until his usual time. Would say if that was a Leicester or a QPR up there today tactics were spot on but we are not. Only consolation is players should have a nice rest before fa cup. Ramsey not a winger, looks lost when out there, all were poor. Little Dave Ospina worse than average Al!

Errm, you're talking bollocks Arsene. We haven't taken maximum points off any of the current top teams teams in the league.

A dire game between two teams who will have to spend lots of money to get anywhere near Chelsea next season.The first hour we were shite not one shot in the first half.If anyone still thinks Giroud is top class i pity you.He's a French donkey.As for Ozil and Cazorla there were more sightings of Lord Lucan on Shergar.Said it at the end of of last season we were 4 top quality players short of challengers.We still are

As for progress we cant even match last seasons points total and last season we finished 3pts behind Chelsea.In Wengerworld that is called closing the gap

Why cant Wenger play Ramsey in the middle, his natural position, where he can and does influence games and play Theo on the wing, in his natural position, where he can and does influence games?

Why........? Because of his enormous ego and his petty "gripe" with Theo. Hes trying to teach Theo a lesson. Once again we see Wenger allowing his massive ego and his craving to be proven right to damage the club.

I believe we'd have won this game if hed he played Rambo centrally and Theo on the right. (Dropping Cazorla). We probably wouldnt have lost against the Swans either.

Progress? Give me a break lads. No progress under Wenger.

The changes changed the game but in truth all they did was sort out the mess he put out on the pitch in the first place, he needs to find his balls and bench one of Ramsey or Cazorla and stop with this Ramsey on the right nonsense, he looked a lot better after the change.

It wasn't a tactical win, it was a fix of a tactical mess up, yeah we've been winning games like that lately but they are games we should be winning anyway.

He didn't say we've taken maximum points off the top teams. He said we're stronger.... which is clearly in reference to the humiliating defeats at Anfield, Stamford Bridge and Citeh.

I can't see how that's bollocks. He hasn't said everything is fine and dandy; he said it's a platform. Fair enough really.

Ah right. Thats OK then. So we havent been totally and utterly humiliated this season for a change. Fair enough really for Wengers Arsenal. But not for me. :|

Not very good but at this stage the result was everything if we think it'll make any difference not having the qualifying game. Well at least one less ST Cup credit used up is a bonus!
Onwards and upwards

Watched the game here in the Maldives next to a manc supporter, first half dire, second half we improved, wilshere and theo made huge difference, anyone that can't see that theo is very effective is barmy but good old arsene has his favourites and that's how it will be.

Anyhow it's 10:30 here so off to the beach :barscarf:

Your seeing what you want to see !!
Feo came on & mis-controlled the ball twice before he scored his wonder deflected goal & you say he made a 'huge difference'. I think Wenger now knows he's crap & that's why he doesn't play him. Should be Rosicky on every time instead of Feo. I agree Jack gives the midfield a bit more drive. At least he goes past players but tends to hold on to the ball that bit too long. Did OK today. Nice point though. :barscarf: :barscarf:

What's it with Theo mate? Got it, he's shit. You can ask one of the moderators to put you on the contributor list with the players they most love or hate, however rational or otherwise :D :barscarf:

I agree though about yesterday. Jack made some difference, Theo not really. Other than the goal. :? :barscarf:
